Methinks your list is over inclusive. Nerds and geeks are what
make IT work so these are words of great praise. And, as well,
retard is an affectionate nickname. It is spoken much like other
nicknames, with a smile on one's face when one finds a friend has
overlooked something simple and obvious. :)
Best,
Allen
